Eye Candy Blogfest

Good morning all and breathe in that 2011 air. Last night, we experienced the birth of another year. As a tradition, we threw open the front and back door of our house in recognition that the crisp winter air blowing through the house was also taking away all the ill that came with 2010.

Today is the Eye Candy Blogfest, hosted by Vicki at Rambles and Randomness.


I'm posting a few of my favorite pieces from artist Alexiuss on Deviant Art. His strange world art featuring apocalyptic landscapes and other fantastical dreamy images always captivate me. Enjoy!

Anamnesis of Estivation

Chronoscape - Thundersnow

Consolation

  2. Consolation looks like no consolation for the girl heading into the Anamnesis of Estivation.
    These are richly detailed drawings, real eye candy.
    Happy New Year.

  3. These are fantastic! Opening both doors to let out the bad from the old year is a great idea.

    Happy New Year!

  4. Stories pop out of those wondrous artworks. I love the way the city seems to grow out of the forest in the first one. Happy new year to you!

    What a cool concept! Last year I wrote down everything I wanted to let go from 2009 and then destroyed the list. I forgot to do something symbolic this year. Hoping your ritual worked and that you have an inspiring, productive, and successful year, Justin. Happy 2011!
